Sometimes in our live, we all have painWe all have sorrows, but if we are wiseWe know that thereґs always tomorrow

Lean on me (can you hear me now) 2-4 FamilyLean on me (depend on me)

I thought I heard you sayingThat youґve got hard timesIf you feel that wayWhy donґt you drop me a line'Cause Iґll be thereTo lend you a shoulder to cry onIґm true blue the type of family memberThat you can rely onFly on and hold up your headOpen up your ears and listen upTo what the dread saidDead is the only way youґre hopelessYouґre still aliveSo you need to take the time to scope this

Chorus:Lean on me, when youґre not strongAnd Iґll be your friendIґll help you carry on(Iґll be your friend to the very end)For it wonґt be longTill Iґm gonna need somebodyTo lean on (can you hear me now)

If thereis a load, you have to bearThat you canґt carryIґm right up the roadI share your load, if you just call me

What ya going through, thinkI wouldnґt understandWas there for you when you lost your manPaid the costs for your faultsPaved the way to save the daySo whoґs the friend and whoґs the foeIn the end it always showsAnd even though, I gave you doeWhen you was dead brokeA place to rest you headWhen you had nowhere to goNever asked for a penny in return soWhen itґs cold, zero belowIґll be your hero

Chorus

Ooh ooh (help you carry on)(Iґll be your friend to the very end)(Can you hear me now)(Two to the four)

So just call on me brotherWhen you need a handWe all need somebody to lean onI just might have a problem, that youґd understandWe all need somebody to lean on
